Happy to know Dirk likes primecoin and I just sent him a note. I have also contacted Henri and Jens as well

Most people only know about the largest known prime record (aka the k=1 record on Jens' list) which is dominated by GIMPS (Mersennes). That's why Jens' record book is important so that people realize that Mersennes are not the only primes of interest to mathematicians.

So for the miners of #2044 and #5355 please step up and give us a proof you are the miner and the name you would like to be written for the record book

To look up if you are the lucky miner who mined a new world record you can go to help->debug window->console and typevalidateaddress <record_holding_address>

There isn't a quicker way to do this?

I agree... there should be an easy way to scan all your found blocks to see if they are record holders. esp with the constant finding of new records. who can keep up with all of this, much less enter in every new address against these records.

NOTE: Your wallet will need to be unlocked while you run this code. A simple modification to the script could unlock your wallet for you, but then you would be saving your wallet password in the source... Also, you might want to change your name on line 20 (unless you want to sign your world record over to me )

NOTE 2: This new code prints out the history of records found by Primecoin. To get a complete picture, you'll need to delete your existing worldrecords.txt and re-scan from the beginning of the block chain.

If you want the source, you can download it here. You need a primecoin daemon and need to add your daemon connection information in bc_daemon.php, you also need to ensure you have the GMP extension loaded.

I'm sure you could convert the code to some other language easy enough also, the relevant code is in bc_layout.php.
